Distributed neural plasticity for shape learning in the human visual cortex

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: PLoS BIOLOGY et al. from the School University of Canada have published the paper: Distributed Neural Plasticity for Shape Learning in the Human Visual Cortex, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Using combined psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) the authors show a link between shape-specific learning in cluttered scenes and distributed neuronal plasticity in the human visual cortex. The authors report stronger fMRI responses for trained than untrained shapes across early and higher visual areas when observers learned to detect low-salience shapes in noisy backgrounds. The authors propose that the human . . .
